          LOL. no one put thick giant phone inside skinny jeans pocket.
          useless feature. if they want it to be bent-proof then they should made it thinner, but sadly they dont do it.
          this phone has thick body with poor screen to body ratio.
          And that glossy chrome backplate reflects huge amount of sunlight, blinding people around it.

          sony need to learn how to design a phone. to bad.. their competitors can do it better.

          meh

              Fix those plastic siderails and shrink the bezels without removing the front facing speakers and it might just get more interesting again :/.

                Yeah, good job to Sony for the XZ Premium. Having said that, now the next step for Sony is, to reduce as much as possible those ultra huge bezels.

                  Good to hear. After my z3 compact I was never going to buy another Sony phone due to the poor build quality, they'd all break in my back pocket. Which is a shame because I love the styling of their phones, they look better than anything else on the market, but it doesn't do any good to look pretty and then fall apart. If they compact comes out and does as well I might consider getting one.
